8.2.1.2 HARTSTONE CLASS

The Hartstone is a class of druids, who can meld with the forest itself and cause nature to rise to its defense. The class is bonded to White Hart, a Great Spirit of Nature who takes the form of a giant snowy-white stag. 

The Hartstone are a druid archetype. Thus, they are required to take LowMagic as a common skill before being able to study Nature magic. Once having mastered Nature magic, they then specialize in Druidry or Wildewood. Their main secondary skill is Totems, which when they master will allow them to specialize in the Stag totem. At some point, a Hartstone druid decides to become a runic druid by taking the skill of Runes, or a Keeper of Hart's Secret by taking the skill of Dreamweaving, or an ecologic druid by taking Hunting and its specialization of Ecology, or a shamanic druid by taking Shamanism. Druids may take Alchemy as a trade skill.
